EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
" F e w persons are aware how great a promoter of study physical labor is, if not carried to excess, among those of fair intelligence and good habits. * * * "The brain needs rest, and it gets it most effectually in muscular toil, and it returns to study with a keen appetite. If the brain-workers of every city could have one day of every week for physical labor, on a farm or in a shop, they would retain their health much longer, and possess more intellectual vigor than they do where every day is given to intellectual effort. * * * This habit of work should be formed early in life, if we would have it a source of pleasure. "Work is the greatest educator and blessing that we have, or are likely to have." PROFESSOB TYNDALL.
